Unconfirmed POLAR BEAR cards vs 1910 COUPON cards

[tedzan]

There is an interesting dynamic between the current list of unconfirmed POLAR BEAR cards, and the 1910 COUPON (T213-1) cards.
Comparing the missing POLAR BEAR's with the 48 Major Leaguers depicted in the 1910 COUPON set, I would venture to say that 39
of these subjects are POLAR BEAR (PB) "No-Prints". The 39 cards that are preceded by Asterisks in the following list of unconfirmed
PB cards are depicted in the 1910 COUPON set.

Furthermore, there exists a linkage between these PB "No-Prints" and the aforementioned "Quintuplicate" connection. At least 24
cards that were not printed with PB backs were printed with these 5 backs.....AMERICAN BEAUTY 350, BROAD LEAF 350, COUPON,
CYCLE 350, and DRUM backs.


The following (as of today) lists the missing POLAR BEAR's......69 cards

I would appreciate your thoughts on this apparent mutually exclusive connection between the T213-1 cards and the missing PB's ?

Due credit goes to Brian Weisner, who originally observed this PB vs T213-1 connection several years ago.
